@VectorStyler https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYDHd0Qpy90 I want to convert shapes to curves. The operation succeeds when there is no underlying image, but fails if an image is present at the bottom. Oddly enough, I didn't select the image at all. Please fix this issue. 外观.vstyler

@debraspicher Wow! Thank you for sharing with such depth into your recording setup and process. I have a program called "Screenflow" that I use for recording tutorials and regular screen videos. I had not thought of using OBS as a way to record regular use video to look back on for an issue. Seems like it would be less intrusive as I could set the controls and view screen on a 2nd monitor. I will try it out and get back to you if I have any questions! thanks again

@VectorStyler System: MacBook Pro M1 Pro, 16GB RAM, macOS Tahoe 26.3.1 (25D2128)

said in Redrawing screen hide toolbars and then show them again: @VectorStyler In 017 it also does the same. For some reason 018 does it but not so often. I was believen it was fixed, but at last, it did it. I know you couldnt find the casus still, but anyway i believed was good to know.

@Honor Got it. I have to test this more

@VectorStyler done!

@macos The vertical text issue is identified, and the fix will be in the next build. The issue is with the new text engine. If you set the "Text Shaper" option in Paragraph Styles to "OpenType" and then in Character Options enable the "Automatic Vertical Roman" then it should work. BTW: you need to set the "Enable East-Asian Options" in Settings

@Boldline ... I had come across Graphite app a year ago or so and was impressed by some of the ways they were handling vector tools; The focus on non-destructive vector editing as it relates to the unique mind mapping editing map. ... I totally get this. I, too, appreciate apps that take unconventional approaches. Btw. that one of the reason i bought Vectorstyler Even though I don't use Graphite myself, I've still followed its development from time to time. For instance, there's a dedicated thread about it on the Blender forum. I really came to appreciate the possibilities that nodes offer for creating vector graphics—if not sooner, then certainly after I started working with the app NodeBox. Patternodes, for example, also utilizes nodes.

@Boldline This is a great idea about collecting tips and tricks on this topic. And I really do hope that you are able to make some videos on these tools specifically. If I recall you have been central to bringing about things like the Bezigon tool. I remember really liking it in Freehand but so far it doesn't click for me in VS. Maybe it's that after creating the curves they are normal Bezier handles instead of staying the type of automatic curving that the Freehand version created.

@shomnipotence That looks awesome

@Subpath said in How to quickly copy halftone appearance to new shape?: i think the methode vectorstyler mentioned "save as preset works" best I agree that is currently the best option for getting what I was requesting. I think it's also a great solution long term if you know you're going to use it frequently or in other projects down the road. However, I also think @vectorstyler is right to add the basic copy/paste option for quick and easy one-time editing. Both options will have their due place in VS

@VectorStyler Proportional issue fixed. Thanks!

@macos There an option in Settings -> Other Options: "Paste with Artboard Position" If enabled, it should keep the Artboard relative position

@VectorStyler said in Expand Group Opacity question shows no difference: @William-Kansepa For some settings changes you may need to reopen the document (and for others, restart the app) I think that could be the reason why it was refusing to work. Maybe an indication to mark that a certain setting requires a restart after editing it? Other software have an asterisk to indicate restart.

@Raaskot Can you send me the workspace and settings files to my email address. Something is different here.

I get the same issue with Affinity designer 2.0 and Affinity Studio When looking in clipboard at the svg of a rectangle copied from Affinity, then pasted in VS and copied to clipboard from VS, I can see a difference : Copied from Affinity : 992x525: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"> <svg width="992px" height="595px" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xml:space="preserve" xmlns:serif="http://www.serif.com/" style="fill-rule:evenodd;clip-rule:evenodd;stroke-linejoin:round;stroke-miterlimit:2;"> <g transform="matrix(1,0,0,1,-384,-378)"> <g transform="matrix(1,0,0,1,-1176,-147)"> <rect x="1560" y="525" width="992" height="595" style="fill:rgb(235,235,235);"/> </g> </g> </svg> Copied from VS : 238x143 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?> <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"> <svg width="239" height="143" viewBox="0 0 239 143" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xml:space="preserve" xml:name="Untitled-1"> <defs/> <g transform="matrix(1.0 0.0 -0.0 -1.0 0.0 142.8) "> <path d="M396.1966 18.5092 L396.1966 161.3092 634.2766 161.3092 634.2766 18.5092 396.1966 18.5092 Z" transform="matrix(1.0 0.0 0.0 1.0 -396.19663361 -18.50924665) " fill="#EBEBEB" fill-rule="evenodd"/> </g> </svg>

Thank @VectorStyler! Right clicking for the new Pen Tools is now available in VS 1.3.017 and it's working perfectly!

@VectorStyler Thank you so much.

@ZATOPEK Hi, Maybe this could be useful. I made a short video showing a simple way to create a metaball-like effect in VectorStyler. The method uses a combined path with two live offsets: first a positive offset, then a negative offset. This creates a smooth connection between the shapes while keeping the result editable. Here is the video: https://imgur.com/a/r0xsB1S

@debraspicher The only problem is that it should change the selected node position, not the opposite one. Il will fix this.
